NASA's Cassini spacecraft photographs Saturn and three other planets

NASA'sCassini spacecraft has a captured a unique portrait of the planet Saturn, with all of us here on Earth photo bombing the image by showing up in the background.

Released this week at the Newseum in Washington, D.C., the composite panorama was made with more than 140 images and shows a span of almost 405,000 miles, showcasing Saturn and its inner rings. Also in the background is the Earth along with Venus and Mars.

The natural-color image was made when the spacecraft was on the shadow side of Saturn on July 19. The probe was able to see Earth clearly because the Sun, which is usually so bright it obscures the Earth from view, was blocked by Saturn. This image is designed to show what the scene would look like if seen with the human eye.
